After witnessing the mafia-styled thuggery unleashed on lawmakers in Indiana when they passed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, at least three RINO governors—North Dakota, Michigan, and Arkansas—made the decision to pay the homosexual extortionists instead of defending the First Amendment.

The message to their fellow lawmakers was loud and clear: We need more laws protecting homosexuals.

In North Dakota, the legislature recently voted against a bill that added protection for “gays” in housing and employment. This move angered Gov. Jack Dalrymple, who issued a terse memo to the legislature:

“Discrimination based on an individual’s sexual orientation is not acceptable,” Gov. Jack Dalrymple said in a statement issued after the North Dakota Legislature killed the proposal.

Governor Rick Snyder issued a warning to Michigan lawmakers, letting them know in no uncertain terms that he wouldn’t accept any type of religious freedom bill that fails to include specific special protections for homosexuals. Citing Indiana as an example, Snyder committed to veto any bill that didn’t include those protections.

And In Arkansas, Governor Asa Hutchinson has indicated his willingness to “pull an Obama.” Which is to say, he is considering issuing an executive order and going around the Arkansas legislature. In his E.O., Hutchinson would issue a decree guaranteeing that gays, transgendered, and bisexuals won’t be discriminated against by state agencies.

In the end, these actions and others like them prove that the Republicans are no different from the liberal Democrats when it comes to protecting religious freedom. They are cowards when it comes to defending the Constitution, choosing political correctness over the First Amendment, and paying the homosexual mob their extortion money.

Protecting religious rights isn’t anti-homosexual; it’s pro-1st Amendment. And the propaganda that says otherwise is a big fat lie. But as Adolph Hitler and Joseph Goebbels said during the days of Nazi Germany:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
